A nit-picky thing. None of the Laptops are designed by (top ten designer) Paul Frank. The design was done by Paul Frank Industries, the company which Paul Frank founded and which later kicked him out, kept his IP and now does not allow him to do work under his own name, since they claim to own it. In other words, corporate scumbags. Paul Frank (Industries) is not your friend.
And that makes the article accurate in saying that the laptop was designed by designer Paul Frank how?
Oh right.
I'm not defending him - he made some very bad decisions, seems like a jerk, and I am sick of that damned monkey. But he didn't have anything to do with designing the laptop,and it's inaccurate to say he did. Change the article to read Paul Frank Industries and suddenly it's factual. Hence, the nit-picking.

And I bet they didn't pay Paul, either. And I bet Paul didn't understand the contract he and his legal team hammered out for months.
Oh, wait.
